Next, in step 905, as shown in fig. 6E, a first metal pillar 331 is formed on at least one external pad of the second metal layer 322 by electroplating, printing, ball-planting, and other processes.
Next, in step 906, as shown in fig. 6F, a chip solder ball 001 is added on the surface of the pad of the chip 302, and the material of the chip solder ball 001 is copper, nickel, tin, silver, gold, palladium or an alloy thereof.
Next, at step 907, as shown in fig. 6G, the chip 302 is mounted on the second metal layer 322 between the first metal posts 331 using an adhesive.
Next, at step 908, as shown in fig. 6H, a second molding layer 312 is formed. The second molding compound layer 312 covers the chip 302 and the first metal pillar 331, and simultaneously exposes the head of the first metal pillar 331 and the chip solder ball 001 of the chip 302. In an embodiment of the invention, after the second molding layer 312 is formed, the first metal pillar 131 and the solder ball 001 of the chip are exposed by thinning, milling and grinding the second molding layer 312.
Next, in step 909, as shown in fig. 6I, the first dielectric layer 341 is covered on the surface of the second molding layer 312, and a portion of the first dielectric layer 341 is removed by exposure or development, so as to expose the end surface of the first metal pillar 331 and the chip solder ball 001.
Next, in step 910, as shown in fig. 6J, a first metal layer 321 is formed on the surface of the first dielectric layer 341. The specific forming method may form a seed layer on the surface of the first dielectric layer 341 through processes such as chemical plating and PVD, coat a photoresist through methods such as lamination, pasting, printing, spin coating, and the like, and then perform steps such as exposure, development, electroplating, photoresist removal, and removal of an excess seed layer, to form the first metal layer 321.
Next, in step 911, as shown in fig. 6K, a first molding layer 311 is formed. The first molding compound layer 311 covers the first metal layer 321.
Next, in step 912, as shown in fig. 6L, the antenna layer 301 is formed on the surface of the first molding layer 311. The specific forming method can be formed by different processes such as electroplating, physical vapor deposition or pasting.
Next, at step 913, as shown in fig. 6M, the slide 002 and the temporary film 003 are removed. In an embodiment of the invention, the carrier 002 and the temporary film 003 can be removed by mechanical polishing, chemical etching, dry etching, laser, or heating according to the characteristics of the temporary bonding layer 002 to expose the third dielectric layer 343 and at least one external pad of the second metal layer 322.
Finally, in step 914, as shown in fig. 6N, external solder balls 350 are formed on the second metal layer 322. In an embodiment of the present invention, the external solder balls 350 may be formed on at least one external pad of the second metal layer 322 by electroplating, ball-planting, printing, or the like.
Fig. 10 illustrates a flow diagram 1000 for forming a substrate-less integrated antenna package structure 400 according to one embodiment of the invention. The difference from the process 900 is that the process 1000 adds the step 1001, the second metal pillar 432 and the end-exposing operation of the second metal pillar 432 after the first metal layer is formed.
Step 1001, as shown in fig. 6O, a fourth dielectric layer 444 is formed on the first metal layer 421, a portion of the fourth dielectric layer 444 is removed by exposure or development, and at least one external connection pad of the first metal layer 421 is exposed, and the second metal pillar 432 is fabricated on the at least one external connection pad of the first metal layer 421 by electroplating, printing, ball-planting, and other processes.
Next, a first molding layer 411 is formed. The first molding compound 411 covers the first metal layer 421 and the second metal pillar 432, but exposes an end surface of the second metal pillar 432. The specific implementation method may be that after the first plastic package layer 411 is formed, the first plastic package layer 411 is thinned, milled, and ground to expose the second metal pillar 432.
The remaining steps of the process 1000 are consistent with the process 900.
